umass's WARRIOR TII HELMET

Warrior has already begun releasing their TII on teams throughout the country showing off just the tip of the ice burg of their pro paint color system with these matte maroon UMass helmets. Warrior made sure that the Minutemen weren't left out of the TII party. UMass went with an all maroon shell, chrome face mask, white chinstrap and white chin piece to complete a very clean look. The white back panel sticker has the players number in the center as you will see when the it will be featured along with the rest of UMass's gear in this weeks Game Day Gear. Also, don't forget to revisit the Warrior TII Prototype post that we did from this years US Lacrosse Convention as well as when the Gear Zone got fitted with the new Warrior lid in December 2010.

umass's warrior mac daddy 3 gloves

One of Warrior's top of the line gloves the Mac Daddy 3 flashes off all the different color variations with these Minutemen beauties. Although the Mac Daddy 3s have been out for a bit the pinstripe like detail all across the fingers only shows the amount of variations you can have. We can't wait to see how all the new Warrior gear complements the rest of the UMass uniforms in the live action.

umass's warrior riot gloves

You first saw the new Warrior Riot gloves in the Gear Zone back in January and now you are beginning to see the customization in works as the Riots are donned with the UMass maroon, black and white. If any school was going to challenge the amount of letters we could put on a gloves cuff Warrior probably picked the best school to do it with. The interchangeable custom cuff is going to have our eyes peeled looking for all the new options that we saw behind the scenes — it's going to be a fun product to follow.

Also, if you are familiar with Game Day Gear and think your team's gear is worthy of a Gear Zone Game Day Gear post head to the brand new Game Day Gear Forum and upload your team's gear photos. If it's good enough the GZ will put it up on the homepage for all the world to see. Let's see what you got.
